Abstract


Honey is a food high in nutritional value, which at the same time has medicinal properties constituting an excellent natural antibiotic. Honey is very effective in correcting nutritional deficiencies, its nutritional value being given by its composition: easily assimilable carbohydrates (glucose and fructose), mineral salts, ferments and vitamins.

The paper makes a study on the impact of the assortment and the quality of bee honey on the consumption behavior of a group of subjects, using the survey method, applying the questionnaire as an investigative tool.

 


Keywords
